Before many times back, many scientist and researchers were hopping that a positive effect of global warming would be increased agricultural yields(outputs), because of the role of carbon dioxide in photosynthesis which might behave in positive manner, but now it resulting in destructions of several crops. In the area of Iceland, due the rising temperatures which have made possible the widespread sowing of barley easily in an effective manner, which was not possible twenty years from now. The net result is expected to be that 33% less maize—the country's staple crop—will be grown. The reduction in rainfall has turned millions of land into deserts.
When you hear about the effects of global warming it is important to understand that the effects we are experiencing today are moderate compared to what the future will see if we do not take preventative action. Over the next century researchers and environmental professionals are stating that the effects of global warming will continue on a constant inclined curve. Temperatures heating up a little bit each decade until the earth's temperatures reach the sweltering levels that we experienced in history. Scientists believe that the earth's temperatures will rise between 2-9 degrees Fahrenheit by 2050. Increase in temperature which resulting into rise of Sea level projected to increase salt-water intrusion into groundwater in some regions, which affecting drinking water for people and agriculture in coastal zones as they can't use salt water for irrigation. Due to increase in the percentage of evaporation effectiveness of reservoirs will get reduce. The retreating of glaciers will have a number of different effects on water supply. A reduction in runoff will affect ability to irrigate crops adversely. And this is the subject Indian young artist Pradosh Swain working on.
